Abstract

The theory of party identification-despite the important place it occupies in psychology and socialization literature-has rarely been clearly formulated or tested. An exception is the analysis by the Michigan Survey Research Center. Charles Helm sees a number of difficulties with the theory and suggests here a different formulation of the voting act. He argues that both from the explanatory and the moral standpoint the process of voting requires that a distinction be made between what people do and what happens to them.
